iPads: The next training session your iSchool teachers will be attending will focus on math applications. Below are several of the applications they will be introduced to. Give them a try.
Measure it! This app is for iPod Touches like the students will be using and iPhones with cameras. We will let you experiment with our training iPods. We have premeasured a couple mystery items in the room. Once we disclose the mystery items, you can use the Measure it app to try and figure out the height or width of each item.
Download the app called Math Tasks. In partners or small groups, work on finding the calculations for the tasks listed below. Measure the provided items using the rulers, then plug the numbers into the appropriate area of the app to help you find the correct answers. Be sure to write your answers including the unit of measurement (example: 124 inches squared).
Open Math Tasks. Click on Geometric Shapes. With your partner or group, have one person open the Math Tasks app and the other(s) open Doodle Buddy or similar app. Collaborate to solve the given math problems by working them out with Doodle Buddy or another similar app. Then check the accuracy of your calculations by plugging the numbers into the Math Tasks app. This app has formulas that will automatically do calculations for you. Record your answers in the Note app and email your final work to one of the instructors. canderson@graniteschools.orghmeenen@graniteschools.org or tbruin@graniteschools.org
